I need to learn how to use simulation software within 1 month (full time) to do my final college project about gas processing, specifically a Dew Point Plant - DDP. The project subject is to simulate a chiller to refill the propane refrigeration system. I'll have to simulate a [COLOR="Black"][B]Stabilization Tower [/B][/COLOR]with a [B]Reboiler[/B], a [B]Compressor[/B] (already in process), an extra [B]Chiller[/B] to recuperate propane and a [B]Biphasic Separator[/B]. I just want to do some few simple analyses like: basically mass balance. Possibly energy balance and economics as secondary objectives.
I found out 3 most common software’s.: HYSYS 3.2 vs CHEMCAD vs SimSci PRO II.
I found on the net the following training material available:
HYSYS 3.2 : a lot of manuals and examples.
CHEMCAD: few manuals and examples.
SimSci PRO II: 1 manual and no examples.
I would like to know under my situation (1 month and gas processing) what would be the easier/quicker to learn, use, simulate.....
Do you have some experience on the software’s mentioned? Any sugestion?
